All of which reminds me that once I was cruelly conned into believing that Brooks make bicycle saddles.

saving 100grammes on your groupset will make you faster.

That's TRUE

Definitely makes you slower downhill. It's physics!

McCain's Micro Chips. Like chips only soggy, cardboard-tasting and generally shit.

"One size fits ~~all~~ NONE".

FTFY

I haven't a clue who this 'all' is.
I am too fat, my hips are too wide and my feet are too long for this myth ever to be a reality.

I'm not really unusually big either. (IMO)

I can't believe me haven't had:
We're all in this together.

And what is the point of fabric conditioner? It makes everything smell like an under ventilated toilet and makes your towels non-absorbed, your wicking clothing non-wicking and makes me sneeze.

Ready Brek doesn't make you glow orange.
Oh yes, truly suckered into that one, and it tasted bogging.
And the sea monkeys.

No problem with hold ups though. Is it just cos i've got great big jelly wobbly thighs then?

Your thighs sound exactly like mine.

What's your secret? Copydex?

These are not just any old hold up, these are M&S hold ups, with really wide silcone strips.

And no, I didn't eat my sea monkeys AQ

Butterfly reckons it's that woman from the Assos adverts. She has a lot to answer for.

clarion · « **Reply #61 on:** 25 April, 2012, 02:00:29 pm »

And I volunteer to ask her questions. In private.

You should mention Specialized's ergonomics, btw.

Hoo yuss. Spesh's "Body Geometry" gear. Utter bobbins.

I'd rather forget them. When they say body geometry, they didn't mean mine!

jogler · « **Reply #66 on:** 25 April, 2012, 02:50:27 pm »

It weren't my body they had in mind.Mind you a circle is a geometric shape n'est pas?

Charlotte · « **Reply #67 on:** 25 April, 2012, 02:57:01 pm »

Remember this?

Yeah, well I never got my fucking flights either

Quote from: Julian on 25 April, 2012, 10:21:17 am

Charlotte can wear hold ups which hold up.

It's true. But like Butterfly, I go for the more expensive ones. M&S posh range at the very least, darling

No, they meant hobbits like me

The Spesh BG are the only women's gloves I can wear.

tiermat · « **Reply #69 on:** 25 April, 2012, 03:10:00 pm »

And less-than-hobbits (or maybe more-than-hobbits) like me.

I can vouch for the gloves, but personally can't for any other items in the range.

tiermat · « **Reply #70 on:** 25 April, 2012, 03:11:06 pm »

Back on topic.

RedBull gives you wings. Does it fuck, the raging shits maybe, but not wings.

Kim · « **Reply #71 on:** 25 April, 2012, 03:14:22 pm »

Which leads nicely into sanitary product marketing in general. Though I never really believed that rollerskating in lycra was compulsory.

clarion · « **Reply #72 on:** 25 April, 2012, 03:15:53 pm »

Five pages in, and nobody has yet said 'breathable waterproof'.
